Verse KJV King James Version BSB Berean Standard Bible

In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod , (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him , ) and fought against Ashdod , and took it ;

Before the year that the chief commander , sent by Sargon king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and attacked and captured it ,

At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot . And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

the LORD had already spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “ Go , remove the sackcloth from your waist and the sandals from your feet . ” And Isaiah did so, walking around naked and barefoot.

And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives , young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt .

so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush , young and old alike , naked and barefoot, with bared buttocks — to Egypt’s shame.

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory .

Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed .

And the inhabitant of this isle shall say in that day , Behold, such is our expectation , whither we flee for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria : and how shall we escape?

And on that day the dwellers of this coastland will say, ‘See what has happened to our source of hope , those to whom we fled for help and deliverance from the king of Assyria ! How then can we escape? ’”
